This is a problem. Li Han and Nicholas want to visit this old man, who has a pivotal position in the entire Hawaii tourism circle.
"If a small gift is too expensive, I will definitely not accept it, but it is really difficult to choose a suitable gift." Nicholas was a little embarrassed. The gift was too expensive, and the stubborn old man might drive the two of them out.
For the afternoon discussion, a visit is indispensable. If this old man can help with a word, the discussion will be much easier. "Francis, French-American, conservative?"
"That's right." Nicholas got the information, and Li Han thought for a while. "Maybe I have a way, Nicholas, I will figure out a way about the gift, and you can go about your business."
Nicholas nodded and walked out of the office with doubts. Li Han thought for a while and returned to the study. "Maybe this gift can satisfy him." Li Han found a beautiful gift box and packed the gift.
Nicholas made arrangements and took the helicopter. Li Han took the family to the airport. "Dudu, listen to grandma and grandpa and don't be naughty." Li Han knelt down and kissed little Dudu. The little guy had not grown since he was born.
Time left him. "Well, Dad, you have to go home quickly." Dudu hugged his father's neck and gave him a big kiss.
"Okay, Dad promises Dudu, finish the work quickly and go home to play with Dudu, okay?" "Yes." The little man nodded vigorously, pulling his father and not wanting to let go.
"Little Han, you and Jennifer should go back as soon as you finish your work. I'll go back and clean up the house. I want to say that your dad is really. The last time he talked about buying a new house, he was really." Mom complained to the dad next to her.
"It's not like we can't live in the house."
Li Pinghe took his son's money and never used it.
"Mom, Jennifer is here and staying at my house."
Li Mei said that she bought a new house last year, which is more than 160 square meters. It was renovated and it took only two months for her to move in.
"Why are you staying at your house? I'll go back and see if this is all your father's fault."
Mom rolled her eyes at Li Pinghe.
"What's the point? Besides, the house was bought with Xiaohan's money." Li Mei said.
"Mom, sister. I think it's more appropriate to stay in a hotel."
Li Han said softly.
"There's no point in staying in a hotel. I'll go back and pack up and stay at home." Zhang Xiuying said, not giving Li Han a chance to speak. "Okay, you're busy. Go ahead and do your work. We'll just wait here."
"
"Sister, brother-in-law, you worked hard on the road."
"What are you talking about? It should be done early, remember." Li Mei leaned close to her brother. "As for Jennifer, don't make mom angry when the time comes."
"I'll take care of it."
"That's good, we should go."
Li Mei held Dudu in one hand and the baby in the other. Dudu took two steps and turned back. "Dudu, be good, dad will go back with mom after finishing the work." The little man nodded vigorously, with tears in his eyes.
Li Han resisted leaving too many words, waved his hand, and waited for everyone to walk in. Then Li Han came out and got in the car. "Nicholas, don't delay our meeting."
"It's still early, the appointment is at half past ten."
Nicholas wanted to ask Li Han what gift he had prepared. Seeing that Li Han didn't want to talk, he didn't ask. "Drive." The driver drove all the way out of the city and came to a small farm.
“The place is really nice.”
The farm is not big, but the surrounding scenery is very beautiful. The small farm is not as lively as the big farm, but it has more pastoral style. "Welcome, guests from afar." "Hello, we have made an appointment with Mr. Francis."
"Yes, Mr. Francis is already waiting for you two. Please come with me."
The housekeeper led Li Han and Nicholas around several flower beds and came to the wooden building, where some vegetables were planted not far away. "Okay, Howell, these are Mr.'s guests."
"Howell?"
The name of the dog is really unexpected. Entering the small building, the decoration is in the European style of the eighteenth century. Francis is a tall and thin old man, nodding slightly. "Welcome, what would you two young men want, coffee or whiskey."
"Thank you, Coffee, Mr. Francis. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Han, the owner of Pandora Island. This is Nicholas, the manager of Pandora Island. It is an honor to have your appointment." Li Han said.
"No, what I'm meeting is the beautiful scenery, not you and him." Francis said with a smile, lighting a cigar. "Would you like a cigar?"
"Oh no, thank you."
Li Han had no interest in cigars, but Nicholas ordered one, lit it and took a nice puff. "It tastes really wonderful, Mr. Francis, this must be a Cuban cigar."
"That's right."
Francis had a smile on his face, and Li Han seemed to be forgotten, and he followed Nicholas to talk about cigars. "Cuban cigars are the best cigars, bar none."
Francisco said.
"Yes, I think so too. There is no better tobacco producing place than Cuba. Only Cuba can produce such intoxicating cigars." Nicholas and Francis chatted very happily.
Li Han sat sipping coffee and gave Nicholas a wink. "Oh, I'm very sorry, Francis, your insights are so admirable. I think I have been attracted to you and forgot about the gift here. I'm really sorry."
"No, Nicholas, I'm very happy. It's surprising that you know cigars." Francis took the gift box, put it aside casually, opened it a little, and suddenly.
Francis sat up from the sofa, excitedly, holding the gift box, a little excited. "God, is this the Pioneer Medal awarded by Napoleon III?"
An aluminum medal lay quietly in the box. Francis took it out tremblingly. As expected, there was a royal mark on the medal. "Yes, it's so perfect. It's so charming."
"Han, what is this?"
Nicholas asked in a low voice. "A Napoleon III Medal, I think he would like it, right?" Li Han said with a smile and put down his coffee.
"Mr. Francis, it's great that you like it."
"This is an aluminum medal. A total of five medals were produced to commend the achievements of the pioneers. Unfortunately, the Arnett disappeared into the vast sea, and Napoleon III also became history."
All Francis knows about this medal is that his ancestor, an officer on the Arnett, was lucky enough to get off the ship in Asia with a medal. Unfortunately, the medal was not sent to Vietnam in the end. In the end, this medal
Becomes a collection of the Francis family.
Francis gradually calmed down, put down the medal, and handed it back to Li Han. "Thank you. I'm really happy to see it. I think many people want to see it again."
"Francis, please take it."
"No, it's precious," Francis said.
Francis was resolute and Li Han had no choice. Suddenly Li Han paused. "Maybe there is a way. Mr. Francis, I want to use this medal to exchange for the plum vase."
"Plum bottle?"
"Han, you are really smart, okay." Francis smiled and nodded.
The plum vase from Cizhou kiln in the Song Dynasty may not be lower than the medal in terms of high-quality value, but for Francis, the meaning is completely different. Li Han got a plum vase and was in a good mood, while Nicholas got Francis' hint and felt much more relaxed.
As expected, there were not many obstacles in the afternoon discussion. There was a certain amount of room for both sides' conditions. Although the discussion was short, it could not be completely decided. The general direction was set. Even Nicholas did not need to participate in the rest of the discussion.
"Everyone, I will hold a cocktail party at the Hilton Hotel tonight. I hope you can attend."
Li Han smiled and talked to everyone. Most of them said they would participate, and of course they apologized for something. Li Han left all other matters to Nicholas. He did not go back to the villa and opened a suite in the hotel.
Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance. "God, Han, this is really surprising." "Nikki, it's such a joy to see you." Li Han didn't expect to meet Nicky Hilton.
Li Han invited Nikki to have a cup of coffee at Cafe and learned that Nikki had come to Hawaii to take a group of photos for the magazine. "Han, Pandora Island is so beautiful, and the firefly wedding is so beautiful."
"Thanks."
Li Han smiled. He had always heard praises from Pandora Island these days, and Li Han was immune to it. "If you have time, Pandora Island is always welcome."
"real."
"certainly."
Nikki is a nice woman, maybe her private life is a little complicated. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to Europe tomorrow." "That's such a shame."
Li Han and Nikki chatted for a while and learned that Li Han had a cocktail party in the evening without a female companion. Nikki readily agreed to Li Han to be his female companion. Back in the room, Li Han called Lingna and Jennifer
After leaving for Europe early in the morning, Lingna returned to Los Angeles.
"Nikki, that's a beautiful snake, Han, you can be careful." Lingna said with a smile when she learned that Nikki would be Li Han's companion at night.
"Lingna, Nicky is a nice girl. I think you know that she and I are good friends." Li Han said helplessly. Lingna seemed to be targeting him recently.
This is really strange, so Li Han changed the topic. "Komixing Town, is there any news?" "The giant python and Cancer King disappeared. Many people were surprised by this. Of course, the ecology of Qiao Naer Lake is also the focus of people's attention.
Several ecological and environmental research organizations arrived at Komi Star." Lingna said, and finally asked with a little curiosity. "Han, the disappearance of giant pythons and giant crabs has something to do with pandora, right?"
"Okay, Lingna, I think you will know about this sooner or later."
Li Han said. "Yes, the giant python and giant crab have been taken back to the farm by Pandora." "God, is this true?" Lingna was just a little skeptical, but now she was slightly surprised when she received Li Han's affirmative answer.
"Yes, Pandora is building her maze and needs them as guards, although I think their appetite is a bit too big," Li Han said.
"Pandora Maze, I heard what Pandora said, but I really didn't expect that she was actually building it." Lingna thought Dudu was just joking, but she didn't expect it to be true. (To be continued)
